I called a BBQ joint that I have enjoyed the food from 3 or 4 times just to get an idea of cost. In very round numbers it costs $12 to $15 per head for adult portions of BBQ sandwich, mac & cheese, salad and corn. The place is called Bobby Q's on I17 south of Dunlap. There are of course other places and menus. I spend more to bringing a dish for the gang and have to cook then do dishes. $15 bucks was a high side rough number but without specifics and a head count?

Jeff I think this is a good idea - count me in for (1) person. I think I read elsewhere that we are not going to have access to AC power or be able to cook on site so that limits our options for a traditional potluck. Given that, the idea of a simple catered lunch makes sense to me. Suggest we get a final tally by the 19th and we all pay you 15.00 at the party or in advance. Anyone who says they will attend, does not cancel by the 19th and does not show can send you their money.
